A very happy Friday and merry Eurovision weekend to those who celebrate - or Sick New World weekend, if you were lucky enough to get tickets!
With Australia's Voyager's synthed-up prog metal and German industrial-meets-goth-metal-via-glam Lord Of The Lost bringing the heavy to Eurovision 2023, it feels like metal is truly booting its way back into the mainstream consciousness - and not a moment too soon, we say.
But we digress - as ever, we’ve searched high and low to find the very best new music for your consumption needs this week. First up - the results of last week’s vote! Mongolian folk metal heroes The Hu proved once again to be unstoppable as they took top spot, while prog/death masters Scar Symmetry came in a very admirable second, Aussies Voyager earning a podium finish with Prince Of Fire.
